- The devastating injuries Frida Kahlo suffered as a teenager during a bus accident actually may have been inspirational — they led her to pursue painting and provided her with many motifs for her vibrant, dream-like self-portraits. No amount of physical pain could squelch the creative impulses of this daring artist, who defied convention in both her art and personal life. In this centennial celebration, paintings, rarely viewed photographs of Kahlo, and ephemera trace the history of a brilliant woman whose artwork is as influential as her iconic persona. – Tanya Feldman
